Directions for Questions 11-17: Read the passage and
answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in
the passage.
In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial
exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the
world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he
became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the
king's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he
offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New
World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that
line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under
Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with
five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the
topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent.
This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern
peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near a
latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints,
but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to
Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the
Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian we now call the
International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on
the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died
of starvation and disease.
Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the
Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen
sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete
the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is
round, with no precipice at the edge.

Directions for Questions 18-20: Read the passage and
answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in
the passage.
The Trojan War is one of the most famous wars in history. It
is well known for the ten-year duration, for the heroism of a number of
legendary characters, and for the Trojan horse. What may not be familiar,
however, is the story of how the war began.
According to Greek myth, the strife between the Trojans and
the Greeks started at the wedding of Peleus, King of Thessaly, and Thetis, a
sea nymph. All of the gods and goddesses had been invited to the wedding
celebration in Troy except Eris, goddesses of discord. She had been omitted
from the guest list because her presence always embroiled mortals and immortals
alike in conflict.
To take revenge on those who had slighted her, Eris decided
to cause a skirmish. Into the middle of the banquet hall, she threw a golden
apple marked “for the most beautiful.” All of the goddesses began to haggle
over who should possess it. The gods and goddesses reached a stalemate when the
choice was narrowed to Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite. Someone was needed to
settle the controversy by picking a winner. The job eventually fell to Paris, son
of King Priam of Troy, who was said to be a good judge of beauty.
Paris did not have an easy job. Each goddess, eager to win
the golden apple, tried aggressively to bribe him.
“I'll grant you vast kingdoms to rule, “ promised Hera.
“Vast kingdoms are nothing in comparison with my gift,” contradicted Athena.
“Choose me and I'll see that you win victory and fame in war.” Aphrodite outdid
her adversaries, however. She won the golden apple by offering Helen, Zeus'
daughter and the most beautiful mortal, to Paris. Paris, anxious to claim
Helen, set off for Sparta in Greece.
Although Paris learned that Helen was married, he accepted
the hospitality of her husband, King Menelasu of Sparta, anyway. Therefore,
Menelaus was outraged for a number of reasons when Paris departed, taking Helen
and much of the king's wealth back to Troy. Menelaus collected his loyal forces
and set sail for Troy to begin the war to reclaim Helen.
18. Eris was known for ___both mortals and immortals.
A. scheming against B.
involving in conflict C.
feeling hostile toward
D. ignoring E.
comforting
19. Each goddess tried ___to bribe Paris.
A. boldly B.

E. answer not stated
20. Athena ___ Hera, promising Paris victory and fame in
war.
